    A New Visual Catalog of Retro Macintosh Software

    Just open an issue on the GitHub issues page and include any errors from the developer's console. Thank you.

    A New Visual Catalog of Retro Macintosh Software

    BTW, here is another icon themed blog post I put up: The Great Fattening of Pixel Art This was actually the genesis of my big-wall-of-icons idea, the fact that I couldn't find any source for icons in their original sizes!

    A New Visual Catalog of Retro Macintosh Software

    So, go ahead! Although there is a reason I host all my stuff on GitHub, I figure if Microsoft disappears we got bigger problems!

    A New Visual Catalog of Retro Macintosh Software

    Hey everyone, A week or two ago I was frustrated I couldn't find a repository of Macintosh icons on the web, so I ended up going a bit overboard and made one myself: A Visual Catalog of Retro Macintosh Software As an attempt to give this thing some semblance of usefulness, added the ability...

    Crazy Idea: Using DynaPort SCSI/Link for UDP Video Streaming to a Compact Mac?

    I would like to be able to stream video (and possibly sound) directly to a compact Mac. The fastest way to get data to a Mac is via the SCSI port. Furthermore, there already exists a many different devices out there (BlueSCSI, RaSCSI) that already implement a virtual DynaPort SCSI/Link device...

    68020 Addressing Modes in CodeWarrior Assembler?

    I'll have to try this. BTW, CW Pro 5 is significantly later than CW Gold 8. The numbering of CodeWarrior releases is very confusing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CodeWarrior The last one I probably will want to use is CW Gold 4, as I would like to be able to compile under 680x0. I wonder what...

    MacRelix: unix-like OS as Mac app

    So I posted an issue on GitHub and Josh replied git under MacRelix does not support SSH nor HTTPS. But he did mention it supports unencrypted git daemon. I also realized that I can clone repos via the This PC virtual volume in Basilisk II, so that gives me an indirect way to pull and push data...

    MacRelix: unix-like OS as Mac app

    So I just tried MacRelix and it failed on the one thing I would use it for: I've been curious about Josh Juran's work for a while, in particular AMS (https://www.v68k.org/advanced-mac-substitute), but the thing is that his projects lack any sort of documentation and they all seem to be...

    Create own REALbasic PlugIn

    I think you have this backward. You probably have a version of CW which is too new. If your version of CW was too old, it would error out when opening the project, since it would not be able to interpret the newer project. On the other hand, if you had a newer version, it would offer to convert...

    Create own REALbasic PlugIn

    Have you seen if the RealBasic SDK offers any better documentation? I haven't really used RealBasic, so I can't offer any guidance but in researching a project I did learn RealBasic had a SDK. You can get it at https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/realbasic-2005

    unirom: an Old World ROM info dumper

    I recently came across a trove of interesting documents on Internet Archive. One of the documents seems very relevant to this thread. It is an internal document from Apple, published in 1989, documenting an effort to clean up and consolidate the ROM codebase into a single Universal ROM. It's a...

    Some Ghidra tools for ROM exploration

    Thank you! Having some examples to start with makes it a lot less intimidating!

    Some Ghidra tools for ROM exploration

    I'm just starting to dabble with Ghidra and I am wondering if there is any automated way to import the comments, labels, symbols, and notes from these files: https://www.bigmessowires.com/rom-adapter/plus-rom-listing.asm https://www.bigmessowires.com/HD20-rom-commented-listing.asm Doing it...

    Multi-threaded network app development on the 68000?

    So this is quite fascinating. If you Google "Ari Halberstadt ThreadLib", you get only five hits. The first is this thread (man, Google already indexed it!) and the remaining four are Apple trademark guides that have the following text in them: So, why did Apple itself choose to use Ari's code...

    Multi-threaded network app development on the 68000?

    Well, I'll let Ari Halberstadt explain why he wrote his Thread Library: He goes on: And then he really twists the knife: So, if these comments are to be believed, the real question is why use the Thread Manager? :LOL:
